When will they learn, most likely stood on her side and tossed the
crew over.

Obviously not "flipped" - the table was set and there was food out.
If the boat had heeled even 20 degrees it would be a mess.

The table was laid for dinner...if she had stood on her side the dishes
would have been scattered or tossed around the cabin. Very strange...

Strange indeed. Aliens, Pirates, near miss with a ship and the crew
panicked.
With the sail blown out she took a hard hit. With a gimbled stove and
those rubber place mats things could look normal in the galley.

I agree, but you know how USGC people can be wrong, and embellish
things.

Like the last big mono I sailed on, but they were smart enough not to put
food out. g

Absolutely. You hear something crash... I say, whatever it was it's safely
on the floor.

Hello??? Its a catamaran! They don't have "gimbaled stoves,"
certainly not any I've seen. I've never had any need of "rubber place
mats" and the tables don't even have fiddles. Clearly, if the table
was set, the boat didn't get "flipped," even partially.

Also, the jib didn't get blown out from a "hit," it happens from
flogging to death. They even showed the sail flogging before the CG
person went down. They also implied that it had been several days,
easily long enough for a jib to self destruct even in moderate wind.
